Hi, ive been taking the depo provera for 10 years. I decided to come of it, i had no bleeding for about 2/3 months and now i feel like i haven't stopped either spotting or bleeding. Do i need to just wait for my body to adjust. Im 49 this year

Thanks for your reply. Wow, 1 year is a long time. Being on the depo injection for 10 years, i had no period at all, so i think my body has to adjust. Also im 49 this year and not sure what will be my normal.
